The location was great, but DO NOT book through Orbitz or Expedia. Once I spoke with them directly I found it would have been significantly cheaper to contact them directly to book. I asked orbitz if they would honor the true price instead of their extremely inflated price they charged me and they refused. Great location just don’t EVER book through Orbitz or Expedia. They will rip you off!

Great cabins
We stayed in a cabin at Elkhorn Ridge and it was great! Everything was very clean and we had all the supplies we needed to cook and bathe. My only complaints are that the bed was very lumpy and there was no tea for the breakfast, though or even tea bags to buy in the store. Overall a great stay. I would definitely recommend it as a great place to stay.

We stayed here because of the location to the black hills and because of previous reviews. We rented one of the Mountain view cabins and they did not disappoint us. The property was rated a 10 and we agree. Elkhorn is a clean and nice property and would definitely stay here again.

The resort was beautiful and the stay was great. The only issue there was is that there were a lot of pet stations but no dog bags in them.

these cabins are amazing, beautiful and comfortable! We stayed there in March and there really weren't any people around, so everything was really nice and quiet (I'm sure it's a bit different in the summer). Lots of things are in driving distance. Very convenient!

This was a large cabin at an RV resort. Very nice. Lots of sleeping space even though we didn’t need it. Full kitchen. So nice. The resort was really nice. Tennis and pickleball courts. I think it would be awesome in the summer when the pool is open!

I loved this property! I would absolutely stay again! Clean, well kept, fun activities, the park, cabin clean and well maintained. One thing that was a bit bothersome was not having the receptionist "front desk" open over the weekend. It would of been nice to be able to contact them, but thankfully Maintenace did come to our cabin on a weekday (Friday) to fix our hot water heater. Totally recommend this place, close to all areas, and also a private feel.

Hi Sarah! Thank you for staying with us! It is certainly tough to stay open in the lodge on the weekends through the winter as there is very little activity. We will work on a solution to this though. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again.

Just adorable!!!
Such a cute little cabin! Perfect for three adults. Very clean and comfortable the scenery was beautiful. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Since we traveled all day, we wanted to eat out instead of cook...the recommended restaurant nearby but it closed very very VERY early. Had to eat at an Indian place near the gas station...it was delicious.
